@cindex file modes and MS-DOS
On MS-DOS, there is no such thing as an ``executable'' file mode bit.
So Emacs considers a file executable if its name ends in one of the
standard executable extensions, such as @file{.com}, @file{.bat},
@file{.exe}, and some others. Files that begin with the Unix-standard
@samp{#!} signature, such as shell and Perl scripts, are also considered
as executable files. This is reflected in the values returned by
@code{file-modes} and @code{file-attributes}. Directories are also
reported with executable bit set, for compatibility with Unix.

@findex mkdir
@defun make-directory dirname &optional parents
This function creates a directory named @var{dirname}.
If @var{parents} is non-@code{nil}, as is always the case in an
interactive call, that means to create the parent directories first,
if they don't already exist.
@code{mkdir} is an alias for this fuction.
